Is mr neurography the best type of mri to characterize 1 cm enhancing lesion in thecal sac at the left lateral aspect of l4? lesion has rim and is round, darker than tarlov cysts, and heterogeneous?

Maybe : This may be useful if conventional mr with gadolinium is not helpful.

MRI: Mr neurography is typically used for peripheral nerves, not within the thecal sac. A good quality MRI is probably the best study for lesions in the area you describe.
